47. After Bolton gave Trump the idea for Space Force...

Fri Aug 22, 2025, 09:36 AM

Friday

The PNAC (which included Bolton) in 2000, one of their 14 Key Positions:
"Control the new 'international commons' of space and 'cyberspace,' and pave the way for the creation of a new military service--U.S. Space Forces--with the mission of space control."

Fast forward to 2018. Trump made Bolton his National Security Advisor in April, & announced Space Force in May, the next month.

Where do you think Trump got the idea?
